Workforce Study Results
This study provides a detailed snapshot of the region’s current workforce by examining industry’s demand for a future workforce, examining the workforce needs of those industries serving as regional economic development priorities, and identifying areas where investment in education and training can pay optimal dividends for the future.
Leaders in the Nashville region commissioned this study to address several key questions:
- Who are the workers and potential workers that will fill the region’s jobs of tomorrow?
- What are the region’s current and future industry needs?
- How do these labor market opportunities relate to the region’s economic development priorities?
- Does the region’s education and training system have the capacity to meet anticipated needs?
